[Rude is sentimental, damn it. Don't throw cute shit at him like this all of a sudden. At least they're not in the same room so he doesn't have to fake not being moved by it. Instead there's just a drawn out silence while he internalizes this additional fondness for Rufus.]
I wouldn't want you to be one of us, but I know that you would be the best of us. Easily.
[Each Turk has their little niche of what they're good for, but Rude can easily see Rufus becoming a jack of all trades if he was given the same training as everyone else. Tseng would have to worry for his job security in that alternative timeline.]
Don't over think it though. The dinner. The cooking. It's not a test, I just want to spend time with you. With clothes on. They say friends do this kind of thing sometimes. Not that I'd know much about that.
